Hi lybrate-user, Your sister is suffering from CSOM as you already mentioned. As far as CT scan reports is concerned it seems that it is unsafe type of CSOM where disease causes erosion of bones, which may result in several complications depending on the progression of the disease. Ct reports also says that there is no ossicles that means disease has already destroyed them which will result in hearing loss. The definitive treatment of this condition is surgery, where bone behind the ear is drilled and the the disease is removed. The aim of this surgery is to remove this bone eating disease, so don't expect much for hearing improvement. There is little risk of facial paralysis associated with surgery but that is minimal is expert hands. Hope that helps.

It can be chronic rhinosinusitis or allergic rhinitis, most probably. But more dangerous yet uncommon conditions like csf rhinorroea also has to be ruled out. You need to visit an ent surgeon for assessment and treatment.

A simple positional test by an ent can confirm this followed by some exercises which can solve the problem.
